Refrax

Purpose: Refrax is an AI-powered agent for refactoring Java code, implemented in Go.
Workflow: It breaks large code-polishing requests into smaller tasks for agents such as a critic, reviewer, and editor, and runs them autonomously.
Protocol: Refrax connects multiple large language models using the A2A protocol.
Installation: The project offers pre-built binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and installation from source requires Go 1.24.1 or later.
Providers: The README lists DeepSeek and OpenAI as supported AI providers.
Authentication: Some operations require an AI provider API token, supplied by command-line flag, environment variable, or a .env file.
Validation: Refrax does not inherently verify whether changes are correct; users can configure reviewer checks with commands such as Maven tests.
Statistics: The refactor command can export interaction statistics in CSV format or print them to the console.
Maturity: The README describes Refrax as an early prototype subject to rapid change.
License: The repository states that Refrax is licensed under the MIT License.
Autonomy: The README says Refrax can run autonomously for minutes or hours after it is started.
Agent protocol: Refrax integrates multiple language models that communicate using the A2A protocol.
AI providers: The README lists DeepSeek and OpenAI as supported providers; the latest listed release also adds custom providers by URL.
Reviewer checks: Users can pass one or more commands with --check for the reviewer agent to run and report feedback to the facilitator.
